Perhaps this is just me jumping to conclusions (I'm good at that), but NPR has been doing something lately that has vexed me. I honestly don't care if you support Obama or not. For some reason, NPR always refers to him as "Mr. Obama".... not President Obama. Mister. How did they refer to Clinton? President Clinton. Even now they call him Ex-President Clinton. Bush? Not Mr. Bush. President Bush... or now Ex-President Bush. So why can't they call Obama "President Obama"? Is that really so difficult? Don't get me wrong, I love NPR so much (especially the show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!) but that is just something that irks me. That and the fact that every time they say Thad Allen, I think they say Fat Allen.
